Privacy Policy

Last updated October 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Happy Moms Therapy (“we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit www.happymomstherapy.com (the “Site”). Happy Moms Therapy is a virtual therapy practiced owned and operated by Melissa Morais Parr, LMFT, located at 1700 Aviara Parkway, #131192, Carlsbad, CA 92011.

This policy covers information collected through the Site only. It does not cover your records as a therapy client.

Important Notes for Visitors

Please don’t share clinical details through the Site. Our contact form and email signup are not meant for sensitive health or mental health information. Please share only your name, contact details, and a brief reason fro reaching out. We’ll discuss anything more personal once we’re in touch through secure channels.

This Site is not monitored for emergencies. If you are in crisis or having thoughts of harming yourself or others, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), call 911 or got to your nearest emergency room. For postpartum support, you can also call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262).

Client records are covered separately. If you become a client, your health information is protected under HIPAA and described in our Notice of Privacy Practices, which you’ll receive during intake.

Information We Collect

Information you give us:

  • Contact form: your name, email address, phone number, and your message.

  • Free resource signup: your name and email address when you sign up for a free download or our email list.

Information collected automatically: When you visit the Site, basic technical information is collected, such as your IP address, browser, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and how you arrived at the Sit. This is collected through cookies and similiar tools described below.

Scheduling: Our “Book” links take you to SimplePractice, our secure practice management platform. Information you enter there is collected by SimplePractice on our behalf and is protected under HIPPA, not under this policy.

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use:

  • Essential cookies from our website host, Squarespace, which keep the Site working and secure.

  • Analytics cookies from Google Analytics which tell us how many visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are most visited). This helps us improve the Site. Google Analytics does not tell us who you are.

When you first visit, our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or opt out of Google Analytics using Google's opt-out browser add-on. Learn how Google uses this data at Google's privacy page.

We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels for targeted ads.

Do Not Track: Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. There is no common standard for responding to these signals, so the Site does not currently respond to them. You can still control cookies through our cookie banner and your browser settings.

How we use and share information

We use your information to:

  • Respond to your questions and consultation requests

  • Send the free resources you request and occasional emails you signed up for

  • Understand how the Site is used so we can improve it

  • Keep the Site secure and meet legal obligations

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it with others for their marketing.

We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site and practice:

Squarespace- Hosts the Site and its contact form

Google (Analytics and Workspace)- Site analytics and practice email

Flodesk- Email signups and newsletters

SimplePractice- Secure scheduling and client records

Each provider handles information under its own privacy policy. We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect someone's safety.

Your choices and rights

  • Emails: You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of any email.

  • Your information: You can ask us what personal information we hold about you from the Site, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing us. We'll respond within a reasonable time.

  • California residents: Because we do not sell or share personal information for others' marketing, there is nothing to opt out of. You may still contact us with any privacy request.

Keeping your information

We keep Site information only as long as needed for the purposes above. You can unsubscribe or request deletion at any time.

Security

We use reputable, secure providers and reasonable safeguards to protect your information. No website or email system is 100% secure, which is one more reason we ask you not to send sensitive details through the Site.

Children

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has shared information with us, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other websites

The Site may link to other websites. We aren't responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please review their policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the "Last updated" date at the top will change.
